Definitions

  • stem cells For instance, in the small intestine there are perhaps up to 10 stem cells at the bottom of the crypt out of a total crypt population of ⁇ 300 cells.
  • satellite (stem) cells comprise about 5% of all nuclei, but in the bone marrow the multi-potential hematopoietic stem cell is much rarer, with a frequency of perhaps 1 in 10000 amongst all bone marrow cells.
  • stem cells In skeletal muscle, satellite (stem) cells comprise about 5% of all nuclei, but in the bone marrow the multi-potential hematopoietic stem cell is much rarer, with a frequency of perhaps 1 in 10000 amongst all bone marrow cells.
  • the conditions to grow or simply ‘select’ stem cells in vitro do not exist for many tissues where it is accepted that the stem cells simply fail to grow due to lack of required
  • Stem cells may also be used to treat brain degeneration, such as in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
  • Therapeutic lasers used in medicine for instance for stem cell therapy, generally fall into two categories: non-destructive, low-energy lasers, also referred to as “cold lasers” designed to generate largely thermal biological effects in tissue, and destructive lasers designed to selectively damage or destroy tissue.
  • a therapist who performs a low level laser treatment has many years of experience and must know where to apply radiation to tissue and how much to apply, for example, with respect to the power of the laser measured in milliwatts (mW), and which wavelength of light is most suitable for different types of treatment. This may be troublesome since there is often a need for sufficiently trained and experienced therapists. Even a very experienced therapist may suffer from sufficient training and experience to be able to control the laser probe properly.
  • mW milliwatts
  • FIG. 2 b is a bottom view of the low level laser probe per se.
  • a first stage of a typical laser treatment in this case of MS, is to treat the spine.
  • the region between vertebrae is treated with 2,500 mW for 5 minutes.
  • the region from C 1 to the sacrum is treated with 5,000 mW for 5 minutes, and a further 5 minutes from C 1 to the sacrum with 2,500 mW.
  • the patient thereafter lies on his or her back for treatment of the frontal lobe from temple to temple with 5,000 mW for 4 minutes.
  • Each laser treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes. Typically, the first ten treatments should be carried out at a frequency of two times per week. Noticeable results of the treatments normally arise after approximately 8-10 treatments.
  • Appropriate laser light sources for the method of the invention can include but are not limited to krypton (416 nanometers (nm)), argon (488 and 515 nm), copper bromide (510 and 578 nm), helium-neon (544, 594 and 612 nm), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (532 and 1064 nm), ruby (628 and 694 nm), titanium-sapphire (700-1000 nm), neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (1047 and 1053 nm), erbium-glass (1540 nm), and helium-doped fluoride (2950 nm).
